"Howard's characters, relentless imagination, twisting plotlines, and use of language make the Johannes Cabal series a real pleasure to read." Richard Kadrey, author of the Sandman Slim novels.
"Johannes (Cabal) is one of the most interesting fictional characters of our still-new century." Huffington Post
"Jonathan L. Howard is a supremely talented writer and the Johannes Cabal series makes for superb reading. It would be easy at this point to say that if you like Rankin or Fforde or Pratchett or Holt then you will love these books, but while it may well be true it would be doing Howard a disservice." Sci-Fi-London
"(KATYA'S WAR is) is a highly effective, thought provoking novel." Philip Reeve, author of the Predator Cities series.
"A really well imagined world, detailed and utterly believable, great mix of technical detail and breathless action." Charlie Higson, author of the Young Bond series.
"Imagine THE HUNT FOR RED OCTOBER meets RETRIBUTION FALLS. Rich in the character development and packed full of underwater wonders from prow to stern, KATYA'S WORLD is exactly enjoyable as all that." Niall Alexander, Tor.com
The start of a fantastic new series.
Johannes Cabal has never pretended to be a hero of any kind.
There is, after all, little heroic about robbing graves, stealing occult volumes, and being on nodding terms with demons. His purpose, however, is noble. His researches are all directed to raising the dead. Not as monstrosities but as people, just as they were when they lived: physically, mentally, and spiritually. For such a prize, some sacrifices are necessary. One such sacrifice was his own soul, but he now sees that was a mistake – it’s not just that he needs it for his research to have validity, but now he realises he needs it to be himself. Unfortunately, his soul now rests within the festering bureaucracy of Hell. Satan may be cruel and capricious but, most dangerously, he is bored. It is Cabal’s unhappy lot to provide him with amusement.
In short, a wager: in return for his own soul, Cabal must gather one hundred others. Placed in control of a diabolical carnival – created to tempt to contentiousness, to blasphemy, argumentation and murder, but one may also win coconuts – and armed only with his intelligence, a very large handgun, and a total absence of whimsy, Cabal has one year.
One year to beat the Devil at his own game. And isn’t that perhaps just a little heroic?
